Christmas On The Bayou |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
Ay, now, uh |
Well, down in Ponchatoula, part of Louisiana |
Most folks will never see |
There’s a pretty little town |
With a lawn and the gators |
Always be home to me |
Come ye east, Saint Nicholas, dark side of winter |
Laissez les bons temps rouler |
Well, it’s Christmas on the bayou |
We’re gonna party |
Till Mardi Gras all the way |
Down to rue your grandma |
They parade so pretty |
But it’s Christmas on the bayou |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
No, no |
Back here on the bayou |
Come late December |
We know it ain’t gonna snow |
Well, the night’s gettin' cool, we stoke up the fire |
Stir up the fish gumbo |
Yeah, yeah, Big Easy |
They can’t wait till Fat Tuesday |
But it’s Christmas on the bayou |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
Cha, yeah |
Down there, not much winter but the days grow short |
And all the nights get long |
Ain’t no better reason for friends to gather |
Than to dance to a Cajun song |
So hey, Papa Boudreaux |
Get down your fiddle |
We’re gonna dance and sing |
All the way to Mardi Gras |
Yeah, yeah, Big Easy |
When they wait on Fat Tuesday |
'Cause it’s Christmas on the bayou |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Long before Mardi Gras |
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
Yeah, yeah |
Passer un bon temps |
Laissez les bons temps rouler |
Ah, we’re gonna party |
We’re gonna party |
Ah, Christmas on the bayou |
Long before Mardi Gras |
